Health workers stress vaccination to prevent spread of measles

NORTHWOODS - The measles seemed to virtually disappear from the U.S. in recent years. But now, people in 14 states have gotten the virus.

Fortunately Wisconsin isn't one of those states.

Health workers say the best way to keep you and others around you healthy is to get vaccinated. The vaccination comes in two doses. You are immune to measles if you get the shots. Many people get it as a baby and then again at age four or five.
